| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, identified as a nymph or Hera, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style with elaborately rolled and waved hair secured by a diadem or taenia; a pendant earring is visible at the ear. The portrait is set within a shallow incuse square border, and partial Greek letters appear in the right field beside the face, consistent with a magistrate's mark or ethnic abbreviation. |

| Reverse description | A bovine animal, most likely a cow or bull calf, recumbent to the left with head turned back to the right, rendered with careful anatomical modelling typical of Euboian coinage of this period. The figure occupies the full field of the irregular flan, with no exergual line. This device served as the principal emblem of the Euboian League and reflects the region's strong association with cattle husbandry, as evoked by the very name Euboia (land of fine cattle). |
